KSI's (a YouTuber) new penthouse in London



Am I jealous? In the sense of wanting a flat like that, I suppose so.

Envious? Not really, I see it more of an inspiration that you can build up to something big if you put your mind to it.

Thoughts?

It's a group of a few youtubers who live their, though he is the main occupant... I think they still all live in another house that they're renting. But yes, he's made all of his money from YouTube, in his older videos he's living in a very modest house with his parents :smile:

Far from the best looking penthouse you can get in London, but still very good for his age. I reckon it costs around £1M.

He is the sole occupant of that penthouse apartment. He also part-owns another property (the one he shares with the other you tubers), but this apartment is his alone
I hate that society rewards this ****. This is what happens when the media obsess with celebrity culture.

Definitely not the biggest no doubt, but I do love the whole look and feel of the design. Though I would break up the whole whitewash feel of the walls/everything and get some colour in there

Thought it was something along the lines of this

Wtf, you clearly don't live in London.

Typical 2 bed down here is £4M

The boy's done well for himself, albeit it wasn't through a typical day's work.

I don't see anything wrong with his success tbh. He worked hard for it. Let him enjoy. He loves FIFA, he makes videos about it which millions of people enjoy as well as other funny videos and he gets paid (handsomely) by advertisers...

Wouldn't exactly call him a celebrity in the conventional sense; he makes funny videos about FIFA :P I love it when youtubers do good for themselves (like Dan and Phil getting their own show on radio1)

It's the influence he (YouTubers in general) has over teenagers that bothers me. They'll see a guy who in reality does nothing, gets paid handsomely for it and is 'famous'. They see this guy and instead of aspiring to be a teacher or a nurse, they aspire to be like him.

Both.
They all put their money together. They make a fair bit from their videos and sponsorships etc.

I would play E.T on Atari for a flat like that. That's how sexy it is.

Working hard doesnt always reward individuals with opulence .

Rich people got there by exploting a opening in society.

Can you let me know what you feel he's done that could be described as "hard work"?
